![]() It's easy to use and it is in fact also very powerful in small kingsdoms, since you will hold most of the land, none of your vassals or pretender can ever challenge you and can't lose titles on succession. I would also recommend primo if you start an independent count or duke. I've haven't played with Patricians or Muslims yet so I can't comment on those. But one untimely death might screw you over. You'll also get a nice little demense bonus. If your whole realm is controlled by dynasty members, you'll probably be even more stable than an ideal elective monarchy. If you can pull it off though, you'll get to pick your heir, and enjoy both a +5 relations with vassals and +10 for dynasty members. Either of them combined with Jain or Buddhism which allow you to pick you heir is ideal. Ultimo is much easier to select your heir with as you can divorce your wife or set aside concubines when you've had enough children and gives you younger heirs, also works great with legitimized bastards. Primo is ok but requires tyranny if you want to be selective about your heir and high crown authority and often gives you an older heir. Otherwise even with 100 relations with electors, they might not vote for you heir but instead a correct culture high diplomacy elector. The best thing of course is to go viceroy laws immediately and hand out your smaller kingdoms as viceroyalties, while destroying those too dangerous to hand out.Įlective is fine if you keep your empire culturally homogeneous and give your heirs good diplomacy educations. After that, even if you lose your kingdoms in an election, as long as you focus on controlling the heir to the empire, the kingdoms will still be your vassals. Then you save up gold and prestige to immediately create any necessary kingdoms and your empire right away. Generally, you should stick with a single de jure kingdom until you are able to create an empire. The only thing to watch out for with Elective (aside from the previously mentioned tyranny) is creating multiple kingdoms/empires. ![]() Tanistry I can only recommend for role-playing, or if you actually don't want to put any thought into your heir. Tanistry gives you practically no way of influencing elector decisions, and if you go with that, you'll basically have to accept that you'll have no control whatsoever over who you'll play as next, in which case, you might as well go with Primo/Ultimo then you'll at least have reared your heir yourself to turn out as well as possible. Usually only the AI will have problems with Elective. It beats Primogeniture by a long shot, even with a large kingdom/empire, because as long as you are cautious about tyranny, it is very easy to keep your electors placated and make them vote for your preferred heir. After gaining just a little bit of experience with the game, you can basically never go wrong with Elective Monarchy.
